The Montana Secretary of State approved I-182 for the November ballot this year, giving Montana voters an opportunity to repair the state’s medical marijuana program. The measure would both re-establish patient access to medical marijuana providers and create a more regulated system. It would allow providers to serve more than three patients and would require both licensing and regular inspections from agency officials. The voter initiative is in response to a recent Montana Supreme Court decision that imposes the full weight of a 2011 law passed by state lawmakers in an effort to make the medical marijuana system as burdensome as possible — long referred to as “repeal in disguise.”
Changes imposed by the supreme court ruling went into effect September 1, and state officials estimate that about 10,000 patients will be denied access to medical marijuana until the law can be changed.
The current law is a huge disservice to seriously ill patients, and they deserve reasonable access. You can visit the voter initiative campaign website here for more information.

SUMMARY:
Sixty-two percent of voters approved Initiative 148 on November 2, 2004. The law took effect that same day. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physicians authorizing the medical use of marijuana.
The law establishes a confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients.

Possession/Cultivation:
Amended to 12 seedlings (less than 12"), four mature flowering plants, and one ounce of usable marijuana.

PATIENT POSSESSION LIMITS:
One ounce

HOME CULTIVATION:
Yes, four mature plants, up to 12 seedlings

CAREGIVERS:
Yes.
Caregivers may provide for no more than two patients at one time (or three, if the caregiver is also a patient).
Caregivers may accept no monetary compensation for providing cannabis to qualified patients.

Amended: SB 423 (100 KB) -- Passed on Apr. 28, 2011 and transmitted to the Governor on May 3, 2011,
Effective: July 1, 2011.
SB 423 changes the application process to require a Montana driver's license or state issued ID card. A second physician is required to confirm a chronic pain diagnosis.

"A provider or marijuana-infused products provider may assist a maximum of three registered cardholders..." and "may not accept anything of value, including monetary remuneration, for any services or products provided to a registered cardholder."
Senate Bill 423, which became law on May 14, 2011, amends the state's medical marijuana law. Among the changes mandated by this act:

Chronic pain patients will face more stringent requirements to qualify under the law; SB 423 changes the application process to require a Montana driver's license or state issued ID card. A second physician is required to confirm a chronic pain diagnosis.

Patients found guilty of marijuana DUI will have their medical marijuana privileges revoked;

Advising physicians will be reported to the Board of Medical Examiners if they recommend for more than 25 patients per year; Physician will be responsible for the costs of this investigation;

Caregivers may accept no monetary compensation for providing cannabis to qualified patients.

Information provided by the state on sources for medical marijuana:
"The Medical Marijuana Act... allows a patient or caregiver to grow up to six plants or possess up to one ounce of usable marijuana.
The department cannot give advice or referrals on how to obtain a supply of marijuana... State law is silent on where grow sites can be located." (accessed Jan. 11, 2010)

ACTION; There are a number of medical cannabis (marijuana) bills in play in states across the US. Here we network on Ways anyone can help with the effort to make each a medical marijuana state.
We need to get the word out and people contacting reps and officials and get this legislation into law. Also, lets not forget efforts at the Federal level.

Butte |
Smoking tolerance level [1= very illegal, 5=virtually legal]: 4 ---
Legislation: In November 2004, Montana voters by a significant margin (62 percent) passed Initiative 148, allowing certain patients with specific medical conditions to alleviate their symptoms through the limited use of marijuana under medical supervision.
The new law, effective immediately upon passage, also allows qualified patients and their caregivers to grow and/or possess a restricted number of marijuana plants. Montana is the 10th state to pass a medical marijuana law. Under federal law, it is still illegal to grow, sell, purchase, or use marijuana, even for health-related reasons.
Law enforcement: Police won’t actively target pot users, but they will respond to complaints, and you will be ticketed and charged if caught with marijuana or a pipe. Fines for possession are typically $550. Don’t do it in public and don’t be stupid. Butte is known for its parties, but law enforcement will be in full force during festivals such as St. Patrick’s Day or Evel Knievel Days (August), so be discreet.

Where to buy marijuana: Your best bet is to make conversation with someone at the Silver Dollar Saloon, or during festivals approach a stoner-looking person. Be friendly and honest and someone will probably be able to smoke you up, if not find you a small amount. Uptown Butte is a funky historic district with stunning architecture and old mine yards; a great place for a stoner to explore. The uptown area has several coffee shops, a few art galleries, and many decent bars, along with a few sketchy ones.
Locals are very accepting of weed, but they mostly like to drink. The Silver Dollar Saloon is more of a hippie bar and very pot friendly.
A good place to smoke is on the “M” of Big Butte overlooking the city, at Granite Mountain Memorial near Walkerville, or in any of the funky back alleys of Uptown.
Marijuana prices: 1/8 = $50;
1/4 = $80-100.
Marijuana brands: Usually your standard B.C. fare, although occasionally Humboldt nugs will come through town. Shwag is uncommon, but available if you find the right people.

Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it.
Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

MONTANA STATE HEMP FEST, ROCK CREEK, MT *
usually around September 25th- 27th
|
We are excited to have the ability to educate people for three days in the great state of MONTANA. We hope to change and save lives and improve our state in many ways, this is our start.
Our festival takes place on September 25th-27th at the Rock Creek Lodge approximately 20 east of Missoula (I-90).
When Steve Zabawa used his reefer madness tactics to divert focus from the hundreds of people who are healed and comforted every day by cannabis to bring repeal, he moved the great state of Montana backwards.

Montana is all about making history. Making history as the first date to lose medical marijuana is not what we have in mind.
The people voted, yet he thinks his narrow mind should somehow be louder than the majority of the state.
Montanans aren't known for being bossed around and are also known for sticking up for their loved ones & their sick.
When loved ones who live in pain every day can walk outside and enjoy a conversation with you free of the chains of narcotics and other medications prescribed regularly with cannabis, how can you turn your back on that? When children make miraculous recoveries with cannabis oil when NOTHING ELSE is working, how can some say they are against that?

Other states have led the way to proving the benefits to communities and Montana needs to move forward with them and see those benefits in state.
We need the industry to band together and collaborate and help us pull off this amazing weekend. Our goal is break even, create an amazing weekend of education, collaboration and entertainment. Thanks to so many who have already volunteered to help!
100% of proceeds will go to helping this cause launch and grow - to bring this festival to fruition! We hope you help us spread the word until Montana catches up and begins to MOVE FORWARD and be free from the misconceptions.

This is the first annual MONTANA STATE HEMP FEST- asking you to help us make a difference by sponsoring this event, vending or donating to our gofundme (also a way to secure tickets and camping).

Medical marijuana initiative makes ballot
-
Last update: July 21, 2016
|
The Montana Secretary of State approved I-182 for the November ballot this year, giving Montana voters an opportunity to repair the state’s medical marijuana program. The measure would both re-establish patient access to medical marijuana providers and create a more regulated system. It would allow providers to serve more than three patients and would require both licensing and regular inspections from agency officials. The voter initiative is in response to a recent Montana Supreme Court decision that imposes the full weight of a 2011 law passed by state lawmakers in an effort to make the medical marijuana system as burdensome as possible — long referred to as “repeal in disguise.”
Several other marijuana-related measures did not make the ballot. Two were aimed at allowing voters to adopt a system to tax and regulate marijuana for adults 21 and older. A third, prohibitionist measure would have banned marijuana unless rescheduled by the federal government, but it also fell short of the number of signatures needed.

http://www.mpp.org/states/montana

Changes imposed by the supreme court ruling went into effect September 1, and state officials estimate that about 10,000 patients will be denied access to medical marijuana until the law can be changed.
The current law is a huge disservice to seriously ill patients, and they deserve reasonable access. You can visit the voter initiative campaign website here for more information.

Montana’s harsh marijuana laws and efforts to change them
|
In Montana, possession of even a single joint for non-medical purposes can land a person in jail for six months, while possession of 60 grams or more (a little over two ounces) can result in a sentence of up to five years. These stiff marijuana penalties cause related negative consequences.
In 2012, there were 1,502 arrests or citations for marijuana-related offenses, 95% of which were for possession. The number of marijuana arrests more than tripled since 2003. At the same time, law enforcement was unable to solve 91% of all burglaries — including home invasions — and over 85% of all motor vehicle thefts. Instead of arresting adults for possession of a product that is safer than alcohol, law enforcement should focus its limited resources on going after real criminals. It’s past time for a better solution. Ask your legislators to support reducing the penalty for possession of cannabis to a civil fine.

Voters uphold partial repeal of Montana’s medical marijuana law; new governor may support sensible reforms in 2013 -
Last Update: November 8, 2012 |
Sadly, in the 2012 general election, Montana voters upheld the legislature’s decision to gut the state’s medical marijuana law by passing IR-124, a ballot referendum identical to S.B. 423, which passed and became law without Governor Brian Schweitzer’s signature in 2011.
Check out this summary of S.B. 423. Some key provisions include stripping the law of its provision that recognized out-of-state cards, adding onerous restrictions for pain patients, changing possession limits to four mature plants, 12 seedlings, and one ounce of marijuana, a ban on advertising, a ban on providers receiving compensation, a ban on providers serving more than three patients, and requiring doctors who recommend to 25 or more patients to pay to be investigated.
Although S.B. 423 passed in 2011, courts have so far prevented some provisions from being implemented. Unfortunately, the passage of IR-124 may result in thousands of patients losing access to medical marijuana, which would be a tragedy for patients and their families.
There is, however, a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Montana’s next governor will be Democratic Attorney General Steve Bullock, an opponent of the legislature’s partial repeal. Legislators and medical marijuana advocates will have an opportunity to start fresh with the legislature in 2013 and work to pass sensible reforms that protect patients and make sure they have safe, legal access to medical marijuana.

If Paul Befumo had known that marijuana could have eased his father's pain during the last few months of his life, he would have broken the law to get it for him.
Befumo, a 48-year-old registered investment adviser in Missoula, lost his father, also named Paul, to lung cancer two years ago after the family auditioned a long list of drugs to reduce his pain and nausea and to increase his appetite.
What they didn't try was the one treatment some chronically ill patients say has been their last, best resort: marijuana.
Since then, Befumo has researched the drug's benefits and hopes Montanans will reach beyond marijuana's stigma on Nov. 2 when they're asked to vote to legalize its medicinal use.

He takes a cocktail of drugs to manage what has developed into AIDS. He knows that AIDS is one of the conditions for which medical marijuana can be approved, and he believes that cannabis can relieve some symptoms - nausea, lack of appetite, a feeling of restlessness in the legs - in ways that other drugs cannot.”

Missoula, Mont. -- She wears the look of someone pinned beneath a boulder, a woman exhausted by pain and frustration.
So why would 45-year-old Robin Prosser, a devoted single parent of a teenage girl, go on a hunger strike -- today in its 29th day -- when the outcome could be fatal?
The answer is pot. A desperate need for medical marijuana. Prosser, a talented pianist, has spent the past 17 years battling an immunosuppressive disorder and other conditions that she says cause chronic pain, heart trouble, muscle spasms, nausea and daily migraines. In search of relief, Prosser has tried nearly every prescribed potion and pill, including morphine and other painkillers (she is violently allergic to them), anti- nausea medications (ditto) and a long list of therapies (nothing works). Finally, she tried marijuana.”

Montana Medical Marijuana Initiative Appears Headed for Victory-10/15/04 | Initiative 148 (I-148), the Montana medical marijuana initiative, appears headed for victory on November 2, but organizers are taking no chances.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis |
If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids.
Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

There are thousands of people out there like me that the only thing that works for them is marajuana. Most of the drugs the doctors put people on are more damaging and more dangerous than the use of marajuana. Most of the seizure drugs on the market all make you drouzy or sleepy, make you feel sluggish, or make it impossible to ever have a drivers liscence. I used marajuana for years when the doctors couldn't find a drug that was legal for me to take. My body's tolorence is just to high. I shed the seizure drugs out of my system as fast as I intake them. And they cause lots of harmful damage to your internal organs, such as kidney and liver failure. When I used marajuana for three years that the doctors weren't able to help me, my seizures went down and my stomach uncers went away. I felt so much better it wasn't funny. It also helped with the massive migranes I got after having a seizure. So for me, that is more logical to use than the drugs the doctors put you on. Besides it was on this planet of ours long before we learned how to make chemical medication. Now I have a device called a VNS that controls all my seizures. Haven't had one in almost five years, and am one of the top five success stories with this device in the state of Montana. I even got my drivers liscence for the first time in my life last year. That was a major milestone for me.
